Extremely woke
Be sure to rate it low on IMDb. Fuck wokeness.
shareDon't know what that means for sure but associate it with hard-right political views. Maybe try to find some sympathy on Parler or Truth Social?

Extremely????
Yeah, there's a bit in as far as making interracial porn when that was not a big thing in 1979 and also throwing a token Hispanic girl in the mix to make it more racially diverse. But that's pretty much it as far as the wokeness that I saw went. I think the "extremely" is extremely exaggerated. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I think some may see wokeness in this but really i saw more mentality of 60s culture in this than say 1979 where the story takes place. The sex scenes are very tame. Maxine / Pearl's final lines say it all. Something along the lines of the old woman being old, crazy and sex-crazed. Sure, was I expecting something more on the motivation aspects but this still worked for me as a slasher. Not very believable but felt like it is a fair homage to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre film.
shareWhy is she "token" and not just a good rising actress who they wanted to cast in the movie?
shareGood point. I didn't even know she was a Latina until I looked her up on imdb. I'd rather Hollywood cast POC in original roles in original movies than have them simply replace previously white characters in shitty reboots.
And to be completely honest, I really didn't see anything "woke" about this movie unless forcing people to watch old people fuck is one of the wokists' causes.
That scene was definitely supposed to be disturbing for the audience though.
shareNope. It was just a slasher. Stop looking for things to complain about.
Pornstars rent a cabin to shoot a movie and the old couple try to kill all of them only to succumb to the final girl.
You have 1 black and 1 Latino actor. The Latino actor takes off a cross. The porn actors justify their occupation only to die horrific deaths.
If that's what you're complaining about, then you haven't been watching horror.
Parody OP?
shareAny movie with a Black Man/White Woman couple in any capacity is woke propaganda.
